Antenatal depression
Hi I am 32 weeks pregnant and was just wondering if anyone else is or has experienced depression in pregnancy, I feel like I’m suffering with it. I am silently struggling as I don’t want people to think I hate being pregnant or that I’m just milking being pregnant but I’ve never felt so sad/low. I did try talk to my partner but he wasn’t very supportive and just brushed it off. Does it get better? Will I feel happy again? Why do I feel so sad at what should be a happy time of my life? Thank you for reading x

Happy to talk if you wanna message xx ❤️
I’ve felt sad and low during my pregnancy and also feel like it should be the happiest time and then feel guilty for feeling sad. I think a lot of it is hormones, the anxiety, the changes that are coming etc. I’ve gone from being very social to not really seeing anyone which has been an adjustment. I would defo speak to your midwife. I’ve just signed up for a 5 week mindful mums pregnancy group session which are meant to be good x
